Thanks Derrick,

So basically, its one callback state per file and one per RO volume. I'm
assuming that the server with the RO volume will not be maintaining the
state of the server with open files and likewise the server with open files
will not be mainataining the state of the RO volumes.

So, the question is... what is the resource consumption for each callback
state ?

cheers
